The results of a comparative study of phosphine-containing and phosphine-free catalytic systems of the Heck reaction using aromatic carboxylic anhydrides as arylating agents are presented. It was demonstrated that the patterns of diff erential selectivity of the reaction under competition of two aromatic anhydrides or two alkenes are independent of the presence of a tertiary phosphine additive in the system. It was established that palladium complexes with no phosphine ligands in their coordination sphere are catalytically active at the step of activation of aromatic carboxylic anhydride and alkene. The patterns of diff erential selectivity for regioisomers of arylated products provide the evidence of the participation of phosphine-containing anionic palladium complexes in the regioselectivity-determining step of the catalytic cycle. The data obtained are in agreement with the phosphine involvement in the catalyst transformations proceeding outside the main catalytic cycle.

Allylic and acrylic substrates may be efficiently transformed by a sequential bichromatic photochemical process into derivatives of levulinates or butenolides with high selectivity when phenanthrene is used as a regulator. Thus, UV-A photoinduced cross-metathesis (CM) couples the acrylic and allylic counterparts and subsequent UV-C irradiation initiates E-Z isomerization of the carbon-carbon double bond, followed by one of two competing processes; namely, cyclization by transesterification or a 1,5-H shift and tautomerization. Quantum chemical calculations demonstrate that intermediates are strongly blue-shifted for the cyclization while red-shifted for the 1,5-H shift reaction. Hence, delaying the double bond migration by employing UV-C absorbing phenanthrene, results in a selective novel divergent all-photochemical pathway for the synthesis of fundamental structural motifs of ubiquitous natural products.
Light-Driven Vitamin B12-Catalysed Generation of Acyl Radicals from 2-S-Pyridyl Thioesters

Acyl radicals are invaluable intermediates in organic synthesis, however their generation remains challenging. Herein, we present an unprecedented light-driven, cobalt-catalysed method for the generation of acyl radicals from readily available 2-S-pyridyl thioesters. The synthetic potential of this methodology was demonstrated in the Giese-type acylation of activated olefins in the presence of heptamethyl cobyrrinate. This vitamin B12 derivative proved to be the most efficient catalyst in the studied process. The developed method features broad substrate scope (38 examples), good functional group tolerance, and mild reaction conditions. Moreover, it is easily scalable (illustrated on a 20-fold scale-up procedure), enabling its preparative use. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeds via a radical pathway with the key steps involving the formation of an acyl-vitamin B12 complex and subsequent photolysis of the Co?C bond.

Air and water are required for a tandem intermolecular radical addition-oxidation sequence that converts alkenylsilanes into a variety of ketones. The reaction of 2-silyl1-alkenes with various carbon-centered radicals (see scheme) provides carbonyl compounds in good yields, This process represents a novel oxidative transformation of organosilicon compounds with molecular oxygen as the oxidant.
